As a New York psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I help people view their struggles in new ways and make the positive changes they have long desired. You may be struggling with life's messiness, mistakes, or imperfection. Worries about what the future holds or thoughts about what you wish the past could have been are holding you back. As a clinical psychologist on Long Island and mom of two, I'm passionate about helping people gain insight and strategies to help them thrive.

Anxiety disorders are incredibly common on Long Island and across the country, but anxiety doesn't have to hold you back from the life you want.
Anxiety is a normal, human experience.
It's your body's natural response to encountering stress.
You may know it as a feeling of fear concern about the future.
Maybe it shows up when starting a new day at school, talking to someone new, or giving a speech in front of a crowd.
However, if anxiety interferes with your life and lasts longer than six months, you may have an anxiety disorder.

The suffering caused by OCD can be so intense that it may seem impossible to function in a normal way.
And the emotional and psychological pain can be unrelenting.
It can lead to social isolation as your behaviors push people away or lead to outbursts of anger, often times fueled by the high levels of anxiety.
It can really affect relationships.
It is difficult for many people suffering from OCD to be understood by those they love the most.
Even when there are people who want to help, they may not know what to do, or well intentioned behaviors may even make things worse.

Self injurious behavior is a very serious and common problem today.
Cutting, scratching, burning, head banging are just some of the ways people can engage in self-harm.
The behaviors themselves can be quite serious when they occur as intended.
In addition to that, there are also risks of infection, or cutting deeper than expected or hitting your head harder than expected, which could lead to unanticipated consequences.
There are many theories about why we might engage in these behaviors.
Some people may cut to feel something when they have felt numb for too long.
